When you have lifted the veil of mystery and infatuation, showing the true face of gorgeous snakes and scorpions, I must escape from the circle of fatal pleasure. I insist on guarding the illusory love and clinging to the illusion that is obsessed in my heart, because you are the source of noble pleasure....

The foundational work of later generations, the whole film is run through by the "McGoffin", the Maltese Eagle. The switching of the camera renders the treacherous atmosphere of suspense and anxiety. It is just right to use the overhead shot when the character is in danger, and the overhead shot when the character is relatively dominant, which makes the audience worry about the protagonist's situation. However, in the end, the opponent threw a string of harsh statements and still used overhead...

6/10. At the beginning of the office, the line of sight/movement sequence is edited to standardize the spatial position of the secretary/female customer with a 180-degree line. Similarly, the upward shooting shows Gutman's fatness and strength. The same positioning line and panoramic composition guide the audience to notice the new Role; as the national bird of the United States, the eagle scraped off the eagle to reveal its fake nature, turning the money dreams of deception into a farce. At...

It's all shameless, tired of not loving. Mary Astor could only see the appearance of the so-called "girl student" without telling the truth. In fact, I was always used by a friend to use Peter Lorre to screen, so...he has always been cute in the...

As Noir’s pioneering work, the style of the video is not obvious, but the framework has been set up, the standard has been set, and the story is really strong; in addition, although the talk is a problem, there are also screaming golden sentences in it. Spade finally His self-report is like a shining beacon in the deep ocean of a foggy night. Although it can cut through the darkness, it can't do...

In the 1920s and 1930s, the vulgar periodicals focusing on detectives ushered in a peak period. Many detective suspense novels were gradually praised by intellectuals, and even gradually rose to the high ground of philosophy. In addition to Conan Doyle, the novelists who appeared at that time...

In the 1940s, there could be such a script, such an actor
The Falcon of Malta is the work of the famous Humphrey Bogart before the famous "Casablanca". At that time, he was still in poverty in Hollywood, and it was "The Maltese Falcon" that established his image as a personality star. "The Maltese Eagle" is first of all a suspenseful detective film with...

Kasper Gutman: This is going to be the most astounding thing you have ever heard of, sir, and I say that knowing that a man of your caliber, in your profession, must have known some astounding things in his time. What do you know, sir, about the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, later known as the Knights of Rhodes and other things?
Sam Spade: Crusaders or something, weren't they?
Kasper Gutman: Very good. In 1539, these crusading knights persuaded the Emperor Charles V to give them the island of Malta. He made them but one condition: They were to pay him, each year, the tribute of one falcon, in acknowledgment that Malta was still under Spain. Do you have any conception of the extreme, the immeasurable wealth of the Order at that time?
Sam Spade: I imagine they were pretty well fixed
Kasper Gutman: Pretty well is putting it mildly. They were rolling in wealth, sir. For years they had taken from the East, nobody knows what spoils of gems, of precious metals, silks, ivories, sir. We all know that the Holy Wars were to them largely a matter of loot. The Knights were profoundly grateful to the Emperor Charles for his generosity toward them. They hit upon the happy thought of sending him for the first year's tribute, not an insignificant live bird, but a glorious golden falcon, encrusted from head to feet with the finest jewels in their coffers. Well, sir, what do you think of that?
Sam Spade: I don't know.
Kasper Gutman: These are facts, sir. Not school book history, not Mr. Wells's history, but history nevertheless. They sent this foot-high jeweled bird to Charles, who was then in Spain. They sent it in a galley commanded by a member of the Order. It never reached Spain. A famous admiral of buccaneers took the Knight's galley and the bird. In 1713 it turned up in Sicily. In 1840 it appeared in Paris. It had by then acquired a coat of black enamel so that it looked like nothing more than a fairly interesting black statuette. In that disguise, sir, it was, you might say, kicked around Paris for more than three score years, by private owners too stupid to see what it was under the skin... Then in 1923, a Greek dealer named Charilaos Konstantinides found it in an obscure shop. No thickness of enamel could conceal value from his eyes. You begin to believe me a little?
-
Kasper Gutman: You begin to believe me a little?
Sam Spade: I haven't said I didn't.
Kasper Gutman: Well, sir, to hold it safe while pursuing his researches into its history, Charliaos re-enameled the bird. Despite that precaution, I got wind of his find. Ah, sir, if only I had known a few days sooner. I was in London when I heard. I packed a bag and took the boat train immediately. On the train I opened a paper, The Times, and read that Charilaos' establishment had been burglarized and him murdered. Sure enough, I discovered upon arriving there that the bird was gone. That was seventeen years ago. Well, sir, it took me seventeen years to locate that bird, but I did. I wanted it and I'm not a man that's easily discouraged when I want something. I traced it to the home of a Russian general - one Kemidov - in an Istanbul suburb. He didn't know a thing about it. It was nothing but a black enameled figure to him, but his natural contrariness kept him from selling it to me when I made him an offer. So I sent some - ah - agents to get it. Well, sir, they got it, and I haven't got it. But I'm going to get it... Your glass, sir.
Sam Spade: Then the bird doesn't belong to any of you but to a General Kemidov?
Kasper Gutman: Well, sir, you might say it belonged to the King of Spain, but I don't see how you can honestly grant anybody else clear title to it - except by right of possession. Well, now, before we start to talk prices, how soon can you - or how soon are you willing to produce the Falcon?
